Description

Part of the balance of natural beauty in Australia is its haphazard rawness. Even a nondescript roadside scene such as this can have a certain tangled charm. Cass and I were on an evening drive a few days ago when she spotted this twisted tree - I simply had to take a shot! Nikon Coolpix 4500, postwork (tinting and slight cropping) in Photoshop. Thanks as always for taking a look and your feedback is much appreciated :-)

Those of us who realize and the earth respect do pay, Can see true Nature's beauty as was meant to be displayed, And those who don't, I pity them, are forced to forego it, While Mother Nature rules us all, still seldom few do know it. Hillbert?

this reminds me a great deal of your digital manipulations, something about the grain of the wood and the organic nature of it. beautiful as always Jim!

Wow! Is that a root from the tree or a part that broke off? Whatever it is, it sure is interesting. Great shot Jim. Glad you shared your interest with us.

Desaturating this image makes the subject more difficult to identify, so adds to the strangeness of it (at least to my eyes). For some reason I'm reminded of something from an H. P. Lovecraft story :-O

Great shot Jim, at first glance I thought it was one of your 2D images the atmosphere is so striking & the tree in the foreground has a wonderfully abstract beauty.
